and can't understand citations.

This is a college class.

I am frightened.

One of the sentences from an essay of a classmate:

"So basically what they're saying is that without these things they colonost would have been happier. I'm like, no, you probably wouldn't have been happier you just think that you would because you don't know what the future holds and you think it's going to be better but you don't know that it is but the colonis just keep up and they don't understand about the indians in the Sever Year War and the French and now the Indians are tranding with the British."

what the everloving actual fuck.
